How big of a difference will those that are say 150k to 200k a year compared to 1 million a year or more be effected?

Ok fair enough but do you think it's pragmatic in a world where those deciding the laws are those that would be hurt by this? What means do you think could be done to get this implemented in a country like the USA where it won't be corrupted to the point that it doesn't achieve what it is meant to?

Yes but resources are the name of the game in the world currently. And with resources you can buy off people. That's what corruption is. While the average person doesn't need much a country with a ton of resources is stronger. It can provide more military power and buy influence to starve out other countries. While much of this is in private hands it gets transferred to the government via I scratch your back you scratch mine type deals. Usually tax benefits, political influence ect. You can put things on paper to look great for all but the actual implementation of it would require a level of corruption near zero which is not going to happen.

I'm not saying it's a bad idea rather how can it be implemented in a manner that corruption doesn't effect the main goals of the plan?

I don't think transparency is pragmatic at all. It's ideal but the actual likelihood of it in this day with how power is held seems very very unlikely. The best we could hope for is a false transparency that tries to show transparency when really is just trying to cover what really is going on.
